Date-Nut Rocks

These are calls rocks because of their shape, not their texture. They are very moist and soft.

Dates are so sweet by themselves that I find date cookies to be tricky to pull off successfully. This is one such example of a use of dates that misses the mark just a bit. The recipe calls for a full pound (half kilo) of dates, and it's almost date over kill. But they were fine to have as a small sweet with coffee or tea at breakfast.
